Coon-ye says what, for his Jim Crow benefactor masters??

Kanye West tells Tucker Carlson that the promotion of Lizzo’s unhealthiness is 'genocide of the Black race'

Coon-ye is literally tap dancing for Tucker Carlson, a literal Jim Crow benefactor inferior intellect!

Coonye is still tap dancing for his Jim Crow benefactor masters. Of all the things this ignoramous could focus on, he focuses on something he has zero control over changing the outcome of.

Meanwhile, children with guns, and children with guns killing each other; working families paying for his #TaxCutsAndJobsAct profits, STEM, climate change, housing crisis at HBCU's... just some of the things a working and ethical mind could focus on, instead of being a straight clown for white supremacists!

And Candace Owens doesn't care, she wants profits from book, a book sold to her white supremacist masters. Grifters... only thing missing is an endorsement from minstrel show Diamond & Silk.

Ummm... I didn't buy ANYTHING Kanye. Only, and last song, purchased was Stronger 15-years ago.

And I never purchased anyone's high-priced sneakers, didn't have money to burn after Venrock and other fraud. no one wealthy ever came knocking on my door to help me out, after losing all legally worked for, to back to back fraud. So, I wasn't about to make someone with disposable income AND a special tax status, already wealthy, wealthier!

Once Conye married a Kardashian, Conye went on the ignore list, and has been there ever since. Media stories about him are clicked away, unread, closed, moreso b/c of his slavery comments, which jumped unsolicited into personal convos, TV shows, news, etc.

Coonye is just one of a few blacks, allowed to sit on GOP's lawn, then pulled off lawn to make an offensive statement, to distract from reality, voting and legislation to come.#the11thhour #TaxCutsAndJobsAct

Venture capitalists AND their funders are still at it!

It's Silicon Valley Bank this time, same pattern as before, with epic fraud and waste bailed out in 2008, after warning after warning sent to SEC AND Capitol Hill lawmakers. And no one gave a shit then, including while bailing out toxic companies. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/silicon-valley-bank-collapse-what-you-need-know-2023-03-15/

Anyone noticed that https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/history/chart ↔ the federal minimum wage stopped increasing RIGHT AFTER the epic 2008 bailout of folks who squandered billions, at taxpayers and FDIC banks' expense?

Asking, for the "woke" folks.

In 1980s, I had my own apartment at 18, while making minimum wage. And so many of us were working before 18 to survive, and also working while in school. If our parents could afford college, our first apartment would have been a dorm room, and we still had to save or work for meals and books.

We were the latchkey kids who had to learn how to come home to/from school, alone, cook breakfast - on a stove, do homework, keep house clean, be home by x-time, and appreciate the things we had, because we saw how tired and defeated our parents were at times. Our parents didn't have many job options, while facing at-will termination at any given moment.

And many of us came home to abuse or silence, because of parents' unresolved issues, or the untimely death of a parent (overworked with no healthcare, war, and/OR injustices and other violence), or sheer exhaustion from being forced to work longer hours than others (mental health). All while putting up with on-the-job-racists, who sat around and complained about Affirmative Action.

And now, we just want to see kids SAFE, happy, happy with themselves, with respect for one another. But that's a problem, because that would require all to feel safe and compensated. 🤔 Is it too soon to bring up that bailed out, #TaxCutsAndJobsAct-benefactor Dan Grossman failed up from Venrock to Amazon, while Amazon workers are complaining about pay, working conditions, benefits and more?

Sh*t, life is hard, but shockingly easy for some, who complain, with lobbyists in tow, about wages, healthcare (for workers), earned benefits, and racial history, equality and civil rights.

irony: Richard Rockefeller worked w/ PTSD victims, while Venrock staff told me to jump off a bridge AFTER funding a Ponzi schemer. but good riddance to him since Rockefellers couldn't care if I lived or died after their fraud nonsense

Richard Rockefeller killed in small plane crash in Westchester County

Friday, June 13, 2014
PURCHASE (WABC) --
Richard Rockefeller was killed when the plane he was piloting crashed near the SUNY Purchase campus Friday morning.

Family spokesman Fraser Seitel said Rockefeller, great grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller, was the only person on board. The 64-year-old, of Falmouth, Maine, was a doctor and father of two, according to the spokesman.

The plane, a 2001 Piper, was registered in Portland, Maine. It crashed on Route 120 and Cottage Road in Purchase about 10 minutes after it took off from Westchester County Airport at 8:08 a.m.

The plane struck some trees west of the airfield.

Seitel said Rockefeller had dinner Thursday night with his father, David Rockefeller, who was celebrating his 99th birthday. He was flying back to Maine Friday.

"He was an experienced pilot ... He has been flying for years," said Seitel.

Rindy Abelnour is now a minister.

Let that sink in! The devil is now preaching. She didn't give one shit about me living or dying in South Carolina, and worked with the ultimate evil, Ponzi schemer, Channler Drawdy, to insure I had NO income coming in, to ensure near-death would be painful and long-suffering.

IN FACT, not ONE christian, employed at SteelEye/Lifekeeper, gave a shit. The CHRISTIANS spent more time judging and manipulating lives of others, and ZERO time helping others, who weren't running a Ponzi scheme and preying on others. Got JESUS? NOPE!

But perhaps through church, Rindy will learn honesty, ethics, integrity. WAIT, did I just write that? A confederate-loving, christian... learning honesty, ethics and integrity. Well, that will never happen. Venrock would sooner develop a conscience before Rindy OR Troy Reed, another FAKE christian.

I just realized I knew when I lost all faith in corporations, as in, discovering that "show up, work, do/be the best, and help out without complaining, and all will work out fine" is a lie. No one can ever say, I never worked for them, and often worked grossly underpaid. But that was never enough, for persons who enter a company with their own personal ideology games at businesses expense.

Many companies fail because of internal problems created by Professional Time Wasters - you know who they are, they're standing around the water cooler all day long,
constantly going to the bathroom,
constantly stopping to ask non-stop personal questions ("it's called team building" while I'm wondering what are YOU paid to do, seriously???),
constantly scheduling meetings which have no agenda, but they just wanna "touch base" with persons actually working (have shit to do besides sit in a meeting),
constantly taking off for family reasons, and
constantly turning the office into their personal soap opera, gossip, backstabbing and all.

AIN'T NOBODY BLACK GOT TIME FOR THAT! We are held to different standards, always, and cannot be on that "office politics team", as we are the first on chopping block, no matter how many skills, or years of loyalty thrown in. And a black office gossip is a lot less valuable than a white office gossip, who knows how to drain everyone's time and make the company revolve around their personal problems.

But I lost faith in corporations when my incredibly talented boss, Malcolm at Quixi-NYC, was fired by someone (management) who actually had "TCP/IP" as a skill on his 4-page resume. This is the SAME manager who DEMANDED that we install our monitoring system on the SAME network being monitored. We all just looked at him, especially our boss, because all of our first thoughts: how would you know if the network you're monitoring is down, if it's on the same network??? That question was then stated verbally by our manager, and the question was dismissed by the "great almighty Anwar". Anwar then targeted our boss for termination, because Anwar's skillset was exposed, making him think his job was vulnerable, VERSUS Anwar keeping intelligent employees around who make him AND the company look good.

After my boss was fired, I knew what was next: micromanage - as in two persons doing one job (mine), while I'm doing MULTIPLE jobs, because "we just can't find anyone else right now" (slavery). With a throbbing jaw and neck, from a botched dental procedure, a reverse root canal courtesy of a Gary Johnson (Central Park South), I had to work, no time off, while Becky planned her wedding, on the job! It took a while to get to another dentist, after not even having time to find one, just to have his work undone. Biggest regret, not going back to my primary dentist, who referred me to Mr. Reverse Root Canal, to show them what was done, to fix it immediately. I still, to this day, do not believe that person was a dentist. ONLY in NYC, even at Central Park South.

There was no way in hell I was going to jump through hoops, or play "office insecurity games" with someone that our entire team didn't respect. I was already getting home at 11pm, AND working on weekends, for no extra pay.

I had already gone above and beyond, and it meant dick at any company, because of the ethics of the company - persons looking out for self, persons who didn't show up to work, persons who used the office as their crisis centers (we all have to stop and talk about the caterer that didn't show up, and they had to whip something up for 20-guests. poor them! ) I wonder what a fresh-outta-college student, sitting across from the "crisis center", is doing for meals, especially since they can't even afford a meal while paying off student loans. And at one company, my fresh-outta-Montana boss, constantly asked me "negro file" (racist) questions, which were just unreal, but her idea of "team building", as she wanted to know all personal details about her "team", versus hiring persons who don't just sit and write up testing plans to follow to a tee, but persons who will also USE the friggin' product, as a consumer - how I found her team's show stopping bug.

And I had just left that shit at SteelEye, with Ponzi schemer Drawdy, constantly calling all to find out who knew what or said what about him. If Drawdy had any common sense, he would have simply sat back and not draw too much attention to the fact that he WAS A PONZI SCHEMER, in business with his drug trafficking and money laundering brother and friend. If he had any ethics, he wouldn't have taken the job, as his intention was NOT to work, but to siphon money.

And then there was the gay confederate, Tim, Rindy's secretary who listened for anything said about his beloved confederate flag, so that he could break out his "southern manners lesson," to me a black woman from the South, as I just stared at him, thinking this ain't Dukes of Hazzard, Gone With The Wind, nor a cult, but an office where tolerance of confederate flag should not be promoted, esp. when you're promoting domestic, racist terrorists, and your employer is now based in California.

But to watch persons who showed up to work, either to play office games or just feed their families, jumping out of WTC windows on 9/11, was a reminder that no one should literally be worked to death, stressed out because of office harassment (sexual, racism), or underpaid while performing 4-5 jobs. That's not why corporations are started. The company startup starts with a product or service idea, and each person who walks through the door should be a part of the company's success, including PROFITS with fair pay.

But... that's fantasy, does not exist, esp. with Karen's and BIFF's roaming office halls daily.

This sums up the ethics of the top of Silicon Valley today.

It used to be "onlyness" (only black person at company or group or only woman in group), but at least you had a chance to work, and not be bothered by nonsense. Unless you're on a team where they're so focused on you being black (GS, JL). But now, no one has a chance. You can show up to work daily, get stuff done, work long hours leading to isolation away from family/friends, and still be laid off as non-essential. Meanwhile, others work to stab others in the back, while the company itself engages in dishonest business practices and/or fraud (distribution of trademark infringement property, distribution of stolen property, sexual/racial/retaliatory harassment all while playing "victim").

Whoaaaa, there was a fire here (Staten Island), then a dispute between management and the employees, who refused to enter building b/c of unsafe conditions. FDNY did determine the building was safe after fire doused, but this was after several other unrelated safety issues.

The person who runs operations for Amazon: Dan Grossman, from Venrock, the company which funded the Ponzi schemer ($22-million) at company I relocated to SC for job. No concern for employees, just getting rich. NO LIVES MATTER to Grossman, especially black lives. My life is the receipt of ZERO fucks given. To work for Venrock, one must leave ethics, corporate responsibility, integrity, decency and honor at the door. Then again, persons with ethics, corporate responsibility, integrity, decency nor honor are denied by Venrock. And now Grossman has brought his "mentality" to Amazon operations.

The workers are standing up for themselves, but watch how this ends for workers. Amazon would sooner dissolve, than do right by employees. And people ask me why I don't shop Amazon.

these GOP fucks have given millionaires #TaxCutsAndJobsAct! BUT IN protest to interest rate hikes, which middle and working class will pay burden of, rich fucks are removing billions from US banks to OVERSEAS destinations, while their money sitting in banks make more money. And on top of that, fucks like Dorsey are pushing crypto currency.

I hope Anonymous starts a Robin Hood Op! this shit has to end, soon. with Tax Cuts And #Jobs Act, ECONOMY FAILED, while wealthier got wealthier, at the expense of infrastructure - making all vulnerable. THE GOAL!!

First Republic bank... ain't it funny how biffs have a safety net, always available for their royal f ups? let a black person lose this type of money, there'd be no more venture capitalism through FDIC banks!! but here's another example of venture capital fraud and waste - had money been used honestly, ethically, while seeking credible ventures, all would have thrived. instead venture caps and start up CEOs paid themselves first, and royally.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/first-republic-bank-is-seized-sold-to-jpmorgan-in-second-largest-u-s-bank-failure-5cec723

A focus on America's coastal elite helped First Republic become one of the most valuable U.S. banking franchises. Big deposits from customers with lots of cash funded low-rate jumbo mortgages to wealthy home buyers. Ultralow interest rates and a pandemic savings boom supercharged the bank's growth. When the Fed began raising interest rates last year to cool inflation, customers began demanding higher yields to keep their money at First Republic. Rising rates also dented the value of loans the bank made when rates were near zero.
